Hi everyone

My normally placid toddler has suddenly developed a habit of cracking up something serious when I try to put her in her car seat. Usually it's only if she's a little tired, but it seems to be happening more frequently. It's definitely not a comfort/fit issue (same car seat as always and checked the fittings to make sure it wasn't too tight, etc). She seems really excited about going somewhere or home as she will run to the car, it's just the restraining thing she's resisting. And it makes it very hard to get her strapped in!

Anyone got any tips as to how to settle her down? If I have other things to load I leave her on the back seat for a minute and come back to strap her in, but she still objects loudly!

It used to work just telling her that I knew she didn't want to get in her seat over and over, that is getting less effective. HELP!
